Gympie Regional Councillor for Division 6, Hilary Smerdon, said the Rail Trail had been an exciting addition to the western region's tourism sector.

"Rail Trails are a great way to celebrate a region's history and repurpose unused infrastructure for future generations," Cr Smerdon said.

"At an 88km distance, we've seen the trail become a really popular spot for those looking for endurance activities, such as horseback riding and adventure biking.

"From a tourism perspective, because the trail meanders through so many little towns, it gives the traveller the opportunity to stop and rest in places like Goomeri. I'm really interested and excited about hearing how... the trail has economically affected these towns as well as suggestions about how we can make the trail the best it can be."
